AN IMPROBABLE STORY.

1t is simply impossible to believe that it
is seriously contemplated by any legislators
to carry the tyranny of the caucus into
matters of general legislation. Political
bosses, rumor has it, have conceived such
scheme, and by control of a majority of a
party caucus, hope to hold legislation by
the throat, and be enabled to trade at will
upon any measure from which the slightest
possible doodle" can be squeezed If it
is for moment conceded that even four
teen legislators will cell their souls to any
such infamous scheme, it viii amount to
this, that fourteen men propose to COM
mand the entire legislation of the State,
and thus utterly destroy for one session Of
the Legislature the representative prin-
ciple. Such conspiracy would be against
public policy, and as its practical working
would be early manifest, the power of the
law could be invoked for exposition Of the
scheme and its due punishment. 1t would
amount TO nothing more or less than
bribery, and thus be amenable to penal
laws. But if fourteen men should concert
TO carry out such fraud, can the belief be
entertained for moment that the remain
ing members of the caucus would consent
to be bound by its rules, and thus pas
sively play into, the hands of the con-
spirators To assume that they would, is
to brand the entire twenty-six as unscrup-
ulous and dishonest. Now we know some
Of these gentlemen-a portion OF whom
have openly denounced the rumored
scheme-whose votes rumor has it are to
De thus put upon the market by their
quiescence, and we have faith enough in
them to refuse to entertain even the sus
picion that under the party, Or any other
whip, they would become plastic agents in
the hands of boodle-ringers. The same
faith we are prepared to extend to the
cases Of all others until it shall develop
that it is misplaced. We refuse to believe,
therefore, that the story as it goes has any
basis Of truth, save in the speculations Of
certain outside schemers, who may be
using the rumor for the purpose of infu-
encing other Interior ends.

United in Marriage.

EDS RECORD UNION: The most enjoyable
of weddings was that which took place al
the elegant Graham homestead on the up
per Stockton road, near Elk Grove, Thurs
day afternoon, when Rev II. c. Tallman,
of Elk Grove. united in marriage Frank
Graham and Miss Mary Chalmers. For
several days the sisters of the groom had
been laboring assiduously to arrange for
the occasion, and when the invited guests
arrived they found every apartment q
bower OF the most beautiful iow-
ers. The gardens and greenhouses
had been pillaged, and skillful fing-
ers had made these beautiful objects
show to their best advantage in mammoth
clusters, arches, columns and trailing
festoons on walls and around beautiful
pictures But SON ething more had been
done than TO deeesate. For days all manner
of culinary tsetics had been employed, and
war of determination had been waged on
turkeys that had successfully evaded
THANKSGIVING, Christmas and New Years.
The array of cakes was bewilderlng, and
although the guests stated that seeing PEG
pie married was an apetizing vocation, they
| found the multitude of good things was
more than they could master. Indeed.
after the bride and groom had cut their
beautifully-decorated cakes, the alleged
hungry guests found it hard to do justice to
them.
Among those present were Mrs. L. M.
Graham. the groom's mother; P. s. Chal-
mers, the brides father; the Misses Lawry,
Jennie and Bessie Graham, Charles and
James Graham, Mr. and Mrs. J. o. Chal-
mers, Charles and J. F. Chalmers. Miss
Laura A. Turrill. Miss Clark, Miss Maggie
Polhemus. Charles B. Turrill, J. A. John
ston and George Bartlett.

ARBOR DAY.

4 bill has been introduced in the Legis-
lature making the last Saturday in January
of each year Arbor Day, and appropriating
s, 600 to be used for premium purposes to
encourage arborioulture Of course, these
premiums are intended primarily to slim
ulate love for tree planting on the part
of children But how far viii 81 900 go
in that direction among million of peo-
pie, in territory zoo miles in length by
an average width of $50 miles? The
State, If it proposes to encourage arbori-
culture at all, can afford TO do better than
this-at least, at the outset. 1t is true the
State Board of Forestry, in their report,
recommend the setting apart Of $1,000
the bill, indeed, is that of the Commission.
OF course, it viii pass; but We submit that
it IS short-sighted economy that limits the
premium awards 10 such figure as will
not act as a stimulant. But if only $1,000
can be secured, then it ought to be pro-
yided that it shall be invested in GER
tifcates, medals, or some sort of tokens
beftting the subject and the great purposes
to be conserved, and thus better distribu-
ton Of awards be made.

preservation of its splendid forests" "

The Legislature should act with prompt

ton of our forest growths means the de-
struction of our streams. abnormal heat in
the valleys, undesirable changes in the
matter of rainfall, and many other evils.
The need exists for intelligent, early and

the State of Nevada. Its plea is that
geographically the people of the slope
are cut off from California, that their COM
mercial and local interests are all with
Nevada. This is fallacious. All our COM
mercial lines tend toward tide water.
The eastern slope people have not ex-
pressed themselves as DESTROYS of divorce
ment from California, and in fact they can
as easily trade with California as Nevada.
Moreover, the political boundary bears no
special relation to local trade interests.
